Omega19x: yo
ph33r my rod: Hihi.
Omega19x: Kura and I had interesting rp this morning.
ph33r my rod: *saw the journal entries* :x;;
Omega19x: *cough*canwemoveinwithyou?*cough*
Omega19x: O:-)
ph33r my rod: We're on the same wavelength. :)
Omega19x: heh
Omega19x: now... all we need is for you to... drop by... I suppose.
Omega19x: the door is wide open. Nobody closed it when we passed out this morning.
ph33r my rod: >_o Yikes. Well, I'll do that when I finish LJing. XD;
Omega19x: of course.
Omega19x: blog all you want
ph33r my rod: Kay, done. :x Malik has a message for Ryou~ Buuuut I think you probably have an idea of what it is.
Omega19x: your crossout amuses me.
ph33r my rod: >D
ph33r my rod: My attempt to add crack to a pseudo-angsty post.
Omega19x: nice
ph33r my rod: Hokay~ Soooo...
Omega19x: sorry, cell phone rang.
Omega19x: back now.
ph33r my rod: Kay.
Omega19x: *we'll say it's about two hours after Kura and Ryou have returned back to their apartment.*
ph33r my rod: *hauls ass over to the apartment after hearing about what happened to them*
Omega19x: (how would you know?)
ph33r my rod: (( LJ? ))
ph33r my rod: (( Or was Ryou planning on calling him? XP ))
Omega19x: (heh. I suppose the lj thing works.)
Omega19x: (of course, you'll be finding us both unconscious... soooo... )
ph33r my rod: (( What, am I supposed to like pick both of you up and go back to the house? XD Or is Ryou like... gonna wake up or something? ))
Omega19x: (I'll wake up)
ph33r my rod: (( Kay. ))
Omega19x: (I just thought it'd make for a dramatic entrance)
ph33r my rod: *finds the apartment door wide open, and is equipped with TEH ROD should anyone jump them or something*
Omega19x: *the inside is trashed. The apartment looks almost stripped clean of anything valuable. Thankfully, Ryou and Bakura look undisturbed, although unconscious.*
Omega19x: *Ryou, collapsed on the floor. Bakura, slumped over the couch*
ph33r my rod: "...shit." *kneels down next to where Ryou is on the floor, carefully pulling him into his arms* "Ryou? Wake up..."
Omega19x: *he is still unconscious, but you see a nasty bruise on his cheek. It's clear he was in a scuffle. Bakura looks far worse*
ph33r my rod: *looks both of them over* "...holy Ra."
Omega19x: *Bakura's a bloody mess, bruises everywhere. One hand hangs off the couch, the other draped protectively over his ribs. His expression is pained*
Omega19x: *Ryou's body has few bruises. Maybe only one more that you can find, but he looks so fragile right now in your lap*
ph33r my rod: *is just stunned seeing the condition of both them and the apartment* "..." *buries his face in Ryou's hair* "...come on, Ryou. Wake up..."
Omega19x: *weak moan*
ph33r my rod: "...Ryou?" *gently strokes the side of his face (not the one that's bruised)*
Omega19x: *groan*
Omega19x: "... ya..yami... al..almost... there..."
Omega19x: "...jus..t ... a ... fe...w... more steps..."
Omega19x: (yay elipsis abuse)
ph33r my rod: "...Ryou, wake up, you're in your apartment..." *blatantly states the obvious, though it's probably not obvious to Ryou*
Omega19x: *opens eyes weakly*
Omega19x: "... Ma... Malik?"
ph33r my rod: "Yes, Ryou, it's me..." *looking down at him with great concern*
Omega19x: *is still quite dizzy, and vision somewhat blurry*
Omega19x: "... oh... thank... thank goodness... you're here..."
Omega19x: "... ya..yami! Is... is he o..okay?"
Omega19x: *tries to get up, but falls back into Malik's lap, weak and exhausted still*
ph33r my rod: *looks over at Bakura* "...he looks like he's in pretty bad shape." *pulls Ryou closer, but his grip is still loose enough so that it doesn't hurt him*
Omega19x: "... we... we went to buy... a tv."
Omega19x: (as if that explains everything)
ph33r my rod: "...and?..." *doesn't really know the details, just hauled ass over there when he saw that Ryou and Kura were hurt*
Omega19x: "... this... this... gang... attacked my yami... tried to kill us..."
Omega19x: "... they wanted... to... put... put a hit? on him..."
ph33r my rod: "...oh Gods."
Omega19x: "... he... he beat them... but... there... there were SIX of them..."
Omega19x: "... I... I was so.. so scared..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *looks over at Bakura again, rather impressed that he managed to beat six men, but his condition is pretty unnerving* "...we need to get out of here."
Omega19x: *looks around, for the first time really, as his eyes are finally coming into focus*
Omega19x: "... wha..what happened?"
Omega19x: *sees everything a wreck*
ph33r my rod: "...I don't know. Looks like the bastards trashed the place, maybe..." *sighs*
ph33r my rod: (( Or someone. *blinku* ))
Omega19x: *slowly sits up*
Omega19x: "... someone... the door... was open..." *he realizes suddenly* "oh dear..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *looks around the apartment, still pretty shocked at how trashed it is* "...it's not safe here anymore."
Omega19x: *nods weakly* "... I... I know..." *expression droops*
Omega19x: "... but... I... I can't... I can't leave him..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *still has one arm wrapped around Ryou, digs around in his pocket and pulls out his cellphone, speed-dials a number* "...Isis? ...I'm at Ryou's apartment. Both Ryou and Bakura are hurt, I can't get them both back to the house on the motorcycle, so... can you pick us up? ... Okay, thanks. See you in a few."
ph33r my rod: *hangs up and puts the phone back in his pocket* "...we'll get both of you back to my house, so... don't worry, okay? We won't leave him."
Omega19x: *slowly stands up.* "Please... help me... get some things... if... there are... any things left to get..."
ph33r my rod: *nods and stands up* "Okay. You still had a few things over at my house, so... yeah, we'll get whatever's left here."
Omega19x: *glances down at his yami, still unconscious, and sighs* "... he... he's hurt..."
Omega19x: "...I... I can't... heal him..."
ph33r my rod: "...so he'll have to go to the hospital." *sighs at the mere thought of it, is pretty tired of hospitals*
Omega19x: "... he... he hates them..."
Omega19x: "... more than I do..."
ph33r my rod: "...I know. But you can't heal him, and we can't just leave him like this..."
Omega19x: "... if... if I divert... any of Khons' power... I'll... I'll... "
Omega19x: (grr... where's a Kaiba when you need one)
Omega19x: (they've got their own medic staff)
ph33r my rod: (( Grrrr. >> ))
ph33r my rod: "...we don't have much of a choice here. You can't use your powers... I know how much both of you hate them, but... what else is there to do?"
Omega19x: *sigh*
Omega19x: "... I... I know..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *pulls him into a hug* "...sorry you had to go through this."
Omega19x: *hugs Malik*
Omega19x: "... without the ring... he's just... as powerless... as any other... hu..human being..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *sighs*
Omega19x: *walks weakly to the back rooms. There's pretty much nothing there. A few monster world figurines on the floor, some torn clothes, empty boxes. Everything else is pretty much... gone or destroyed.*
Omega19x: *even the matress is gone*
ph33r my rod: *mutters to himself* "...gods, they really messed this place up..."
Omega19x: *nods, a bit frightened*
ph33r my rod: "...well, there's not really much left here. Isis should be here in the next few minutes, so..."
Omega19x: "... Malik? Help... help me find my.. my pill bottles..."
Omega19x: *looking around the trash*
ph33r my rod: *nods and starts rummaging through some of the stuff*
Omega19x: *finds one*
Omega19x: "... I... I left the... injectable one.. on the counter... is it there?"
ph33r my rod: *goes and looks*
ph33r my rod: (( ...is it? XD; ))
Omega19x: (you're the one looking)
ph33r my rod: (( *shrug* Kay. ))
ph33r my rod: "Yeah, it's there." *brings it back over where Ryou is* "...I'm surprised it is, really. You'd think some of these jerks with jack it for drugs or something..."
Omega19x: "... I know..."
ph33r my rod: (( *would, not with O.o ))
Omega19x: "... I hate needles, though..."
Omega19x: *muttered side-note*
Omega19x: *found the other one, thank god*
ph33r my rod: "...good, so it's all there."
Omega19x: ".. .at least... they didn't take those..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "That... would've been bad."
Omega19x: "... is Isis here yet?"
Omega19x: *picked up what remained of his or his yami's valuables, into one knapsack*
ph33r my rod: *looks out one of the windows (which is probably broken* "...yeah, looks like she just pulled up."
Omega19x: "... Malik... if... if we take my yami... to the hospital... they... they won't report him... will they? You know... to.. to the American.. .authorities?"
ph33r my rod: "...I hadn't thought of that."
Omega19x: *looks worried*
ph33r my rod: *mutters more to self than anything* "...if all else fails, a little mind control wouldn't hurt..."
Omega19x: "... maybe Isis will know what to do..."
Omega19x: *bends over, and strokes his yami's hair sweetly. The man on the couch doesn't move*
ph33r my rod: *sigh* "We'd better get going. I don't want to leave her waiting for too long. I'll have to drive my motorbike back though, so you two will ride with her."
Omega19x: *nods weakly*
ph33r my rod: (( Chances are, if the player doesn't know what to do about something, the character won't. ^^;; ))
ph33r my rod: (( brb ))
Omega19x: "... can... can you carry him?"
ph33r my rod: *nods and carefully lifts Bakura up from the couch*
Omega19x: *his expression grimaces, but not much more*
ph33r my rod: "...well, let's go." *carry carry carry*
ph33r my rod: (( Shall I timelapse to... uh, something? ))
Omega19x: *carries the bag of their things*
Omega19x: *into the car we go*
Omega19x: (I suppose our next stop is the ER, isn't it.)
ph33r my rod: (( Probably. ))
Omega19x: (dejavu...)
Omega19x: (magical vroomlapse)
Omega19x: (and goodbye Kurapartment...)
ph33r my rod: (( D'aww. ))
ph33r my rod: (( Sooo... ER time. ))
Omega19x: (where's the magical timelapse we've come to know and love?!)
ph33r my rod: *MAGICAL TIMELAPSE!*
Omega19x: (danke)
ph33r my rod: (( :P ))
Omega19x: *Isis pulls up to the ER, Ryou could give her directions in his sleep by this time...*
Omega19x: "... come on..."
ph33r my rod: (( Hm... for convenience sake, we can say that they dropped the motorbike off at the house first. :x ))
Omega19x: (kay)
ph33r my rod: *gets out of the car, then goes around and picks Bakura up from the back seat*
Omega19x: *go inside, and Bakura is passed on to the nurses, who instruct you and Ryou to wait*
Omega19x: *explains to them that they were attacked, and that Bakura took most of the punches*
ph33r my rod: (( brb again ))
Omega19x: *as they wheel Bakura back, we can hear a few offhand comments about significant blood loss and possibly fractured ribs*
ph33r my rod: "...damn."
Omega19x: *sighs, and sits in one of the chairs in the waiting room*
Omega19x: "... I... I don't like this place..."
ph33r my rod: *sits down next to him* "...I know. I don't like it either."
Omega19x: *weak cough*
Omega19x: "... at least... this time... I'm in the waiting room..."
ph33r my rod: *nods and gently drapes an arm over Ryou's shoulders sighing* "..."
Omega19x: *magical erlapse*
ph33r my rod: (( XD ))
Omega19x: *a nurse walks out of the back*
Omega19x: "... Ryou Bakura?"
Omega19x: *perks up*
Omega19x: "... yes?"
Omega19x: "you can see your..." *looks at the papers filled out by Malik* "... brother now..."
Omega19x: *slowly gets up*
Omega19x: "... come with me... please?"
ph33r my rod: *nods and gets up*
Omega19x: *sees them both* "... woah... you're the... the same Ryou Bakura!"
ph33r my rod: *facepalm*
Omega19x: "... the one with the disease! I've heard about you! My supervisor's been obsessed with your case files..."
Omega19x: (there's tact for you.)
Omega19x: "... um... yes... tha.. that's me..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *shoots a glare at the nurse*
Omega19x: "... wow... have you considered seeing a faith healer?"
ph33r my rod: *twitch*
Omega19x: *young recent medical school graduate nurse...*
Omega19x: "... it's worth a try from what I hear..."
Omega19x: "... that's... okay... Can... can I just see... my... my... um... brother now?"
ph33r my rod: *if looks could kill, this nurse would be a grease spot on the floor*
Omega19x: "... ah. yes. The fighter."
Omega19x: "... he's quite the lucky one!"
Omega19x: "... mostly just abrasions and contusions... some knife wounds, but not too deep. A few stitches here and there. Several broken ribs though."
ph33r my rod: "...how long will you have to keep him?"
Omega19x: "We've given him some blood, and braced the ribs. He's sleeping now."
Omega19x: "You can check him out anytime, really. Not much we can do for broken ribs. Here's a perscription for some strong pain killers. He'll just have to take it really easy."
Omega19x: "... no more 6 on 1 knife fights."
Omega19x: "... or manual labor, for that matter."
Omega19x: "he can come back in a week or so to have the stitches removed."
Omega19x: *what do you know... good news*
ph33r my rod: *a little surprised at the good news, really*
Omega19x: (and they say I'm not capable of having good news happen)
ph33r my rod: (( XD ))
Omega19x: "He's really the lucky one. The bones took the impact of the punches. An inch lower, and he could have had a ruptured spleen."
Omega19x: "... You should ask him for some of his luck!" (there's her impeccable tact again)
ph33r my rod: *facepalm*
ph33r my rod: *is about ready to smack this nurse*
Omega19x: "... but yeah. Just sign here, and you can take your brother home with you today."
Omega19x: *nods*
Omega19x: *that only took a few hours now*
ph33r my rod: *better than a few days*
Omega19x: *or in Ryou's case... a few weeks*
ph33r my rod: (( Oh, come on, he's getting better about not being in there for weeks. ;D ))
Omega19x: (by sheer act of willpower and the art of signing himself out against doctor's orders)
Omega19x: (and help from the millennium rod)
ph33r my rod: (( Heheh. ))
Omega19x: *they wake Bakura up enough to be wheeled out, and call Isis again*
ph33r my rod: (( Magical timelapse? ))
Omega19x: (go for it)
ph33r my rod: *MAGICAL TIMELAPSE!*
Omega19x: (btw, I am planning on starting the 'ceremony' on Monday)
ph33r my rod: (( As in... next Monday? Seeing as it's Monday right now? ))
Omega19x: *yes, next monday)
ph33r my rod: (( Kay. ))
Omega19x: (it's monday? I thought it was Tuesday...)
ph33r my rod: (( XD Yeah, it's Monday. Funny thing is, I thought yesterday was Monday. I was all "OH CRAP I MISSED IRON CHEF!" but then I was like "oh wait... it's Sunday". ))
Omega19x: (Iron Chef ROCKS!)
Omega19x: (Japanese version, not American)
ph33r my rod: (( Yes, yes it does. And yes, the American version is crap. >< ))
Omega19x: (I <3 chairman Kaga!)
Omega19x: (he was great in Les Miserables too)
ph33r my rod: (( :O ))
Omega19x: (are we back at your house?)
ph33r my rod: (( Yep. ))
Omega19x: *now back at the Ishtar residence, Bakura is sleeping again, drowsy from the painkillers.* (where'd we put him?)
ph33r my rod: (( Um... just 'cause I'm tired of having Malik sleep on the couch, we'll say they finally have a bed for the guest room or something, so we'll stick him in there. 8D ))
Omega19x: (yay! yay for buying a bed for the guest room!)
Omega19x: "... I like the new bed..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Isis figured we needed one for in here."
Omega19x: "... I haven't seen him... sleep like this... in a while..."
ph33r my rod: "...the sleep will do him good. I'm sure it's better than it was on that mattress."
Omega19x: *walks quietly out of the room so Kura can sleep*
ph33r my rod: *follows him out and quietly pulls the door shut*
Omega19x: *weakly walks downstairs* "... is there... anything... to eat?"
ph33r my rod: *walkwalkwalk* "Yeah, there's some stuff in there." *walks to kitchen, looks around in cabinets and stuff*
Omega19x: "... sorry... I... haven't had much to eat today... just ... a shake... for breakfast... like the doctors... recommended..."
Omega19x: (yay for dietary suppliments... not)
ph33r my rod: (( Yeeeww. XD; ))
Omega19x: "... it tastes like cardboard..."
ph33r my rod: "...ew. Let's see what's in here... probably tastes better than that." *rummages through a cabinet* "There's some cans of soup in here, some instant ramen... anything you feel like in particular?"
Omega19x: "... something light... I... I feel a bit queasy today..."
Omega19x: "... soup sounds good."
ph33r my rod: *nods and takes down a comple of cans* "Vegetable soup alright?"
Omega19x: *nods*
ph33r my rod: "Okay." *gets out a couple of bowls, hello microwave!* "...at least this is something I can fix without burning the house down or otherwise injuring myself."
Omega19x: "... when I'm... better... I... I can cook something nice... for you..."
ph33r my rod: *looks at him* "Really?"
Omega19x: "... my yami says... I'm a good cook."
ph33r my rod: *smiles* "...okay. Sounds nice."
Omega19x: "... cooking is fun."
ph33r my rod: "Isis doesn't trust me to cook anything because it usually comes out like crap, or I end up setting something on fire or breaking something." *pouts* "Um, when you're better... can you show me how to cook stuff?"
Omega19x: "... sure..."
ph33r my rod: *grins* "Thanks. I don't wanna live off instant ramen forever." *microwave go ding!* *takes bowls out of microwave* "Hothothothot..." *somehow manages to get them on the table*
Omega19x: *dip spoon in soup, blow gently, sip soup, repeat*
Omega19x: ".. mmm.."
ph33r my rod: *ditto*
Omega19x: *eats soup*
ph33r my rod: *eat eat eat*
Omega19x: "... thank you..."
ph33r my rod: "Hmm?"
Omega19x: "... for... for letting us... stay here..."
ph33r my rod: "...it's not a problem." *smile*
Omega19x: *smiles back*
ph33r my rod: *magical souplapse?*
Omega19x: sooplapse!
ph33r my rod: *finishes soup and leans back in chair*
Omega19x: "... I hope the... the ceremony will work..."
Omega19x: *finishes the last of his soup*
Omega19x: "I'm kind of scared..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Yeah..."
Omega19x: "..." *trembles a little at the thought of it*
Omega19x: "... we don't even know... how... it will help... if it helps at all..."
ph33r my rod: *sighs* "It's a pretty big risk, but... it could be your last chance."
Omega19x: "... it... it is... my last chance..."
Omega19x: "... the... the doctors... they gave me... brochures on... on hospice care, Malik... you know it's over... when they do that..."
ph33r my rod: "..."
Omega19x: "... this has to work... it just HAS to work..."
ph33r my rod: *nods and picks up the bowls, putting them in the sink, then sits back down* "..." *sighs again, resting his forehead on the table*
Omega19x: "... do... you have... faith in Khons?"
ph33r my rod: *lifts his head up a bit* "...yes. I know he... will keep you alive as long as he possibly can."
ph33r my rod: "...do you have faith in him?"
Omega19x: *weak nod* "... yes... yes... I do..."
Omega19x: (rereads your old entry about the tarot reading... and notes how it still applies)
ph33r my rod: (( @_@ ))
ph33r my rod: "...then as long as you have faith in him, and in us, and in yourself, then... we'll get through this, Ryou."
Omega19x: ("right now, all of his hopes and fears lie in one person... an honest friend, but one who is dark; an impassioned nobleman (Atemu came to mind here)... and as for what lies ahead, well... his hope is strong, but should he lose faith in us... I'm not going to think about what'll happen then.")
Omega19x: ("He's... not well at all (no shit), but that's in the past and could be fading away now... he's so unstable... but he has faith in us; apparently we, as his friends, give him courage...")
Omega19x: ("he's been through such sickness and pain (no shit), but he's got a sense of self-confidence and determination... though something's really wrong (no shit). He has many obstacles to overcome, and he wants calm... but he hasn't lost hope yet.")
Omega19x: (see?!)
ph33r my rod: (( @___@ Wow. XD ))
Omega19x: "... I... I have all the faith in you... and my friends..."
Omega19x: "... I promise I won't lose hope."
ph33r my rod: "..." *smiles*
Omega19x: *smiles back, wearily*
ph33r my rod: *remembers tarot reading he had a while back* "...then everything will be okay."
Omega19x: *huuug*
ph33r my rod: *huuuug back*
Omega19x: "... I...I'm rather tired, Malik... do... you mind if I take a nap?"
Omega19x: *stands up weakly, and promptly collapses*
ph33r my rod: "..." *quickly kneels down next to him* "...you okay?"
ph33r my rod: (( Or did he pass out and collapse? ))
Omega19x: (sorry, I guess I have to specify now)
Omega19x: (he passes out)
ph33r my rod: (( *facepalm* ))
Omega19x: (I thought it was cute to have him ask first though)
Omega19x: (hey, he's been through a lot today... a gang fight, with knives, carrying Bakura back to the apartment, then moving...)
ph33r my rod: (( With Ryou, you never really can tell anymore, so... :P ))
Omega19x: (I think it's safe to say he's exhausted himself)
ph33r my rod: (( Makes sense. ;; Poor Ryou. T__T ))
ph33r my rod: "..." *gently scoops him up and carries him upstairs*
Omega19x: *is out, duh*
ph33r my rod: *wonders which room to put him in, he'd probably rather be with his yami, but wonders if that's a good idea with the condition that Bakura is in*
Omega19x: *sleeping in Malik's bed now?*
ph33r my rod: *I guesso*
Omega19x: O:-)
ph33r my rod: (( *shifty eyes* ))
Omega19x: *one cannot blame Ryou for his exhaustion, after everything that happened today... he well overspent his limitations... the twenty minute walk supporting a bleeding Bakura... along with everything else...*
Omega19x: *his body is so very weak after all...*
Omega19x: (and Dez so very tired...)
ph33r my rod: (( XD;; Night then. ))
Omega19x: (heh. I'm gonna have to think of new ways to end this after we cure Ryou...)
Omega19x: (nightynight!)
ph33r my rod: (( *wavewave* ))
